Social Link as Cultural Landscape Heritage

2013, Meanings & Aesthetics in Asian Cultural Landscape

For decades, scientific research and planning expertise work mutually to confront environmental issues with the complex prospective in social sciences, ensuring the foundation of the current "Cultural Landscape" studies. In parallel, with the advent of sustainable development the excesses of Green and Social Washing appeared, perverting the Landscape Planning towards a trend of instrumentalization of social capital. It is the transition to this new environmental sociology in Japan that this study will seek to enlighten: Exploring what led to the reformulation of the role of the planners in a more social and ecological angle, from the rise of the Machizukuri phenomenon to projects implemented by the planner Hideki Koizumi. This study addresses the social ecology mechanism implemented in a country faced with dramatic environmental issues inherent in the twentieth century: how developers respond today by seizing newly the social link as fundamental cultural landscape heritage to set up sustainable communities.
